A late start to birthmonth/link round-up

It’s been a pretty busy and confusing couple of weeks around here for me. Besides some work stuff I’m not going to go into in any detail right now (and this even showed up on twitter), I also have been kind of thrown off by Will’s winter break followed by our winter break, both of which weren’t really “breaks” because it was just work work work. Plus I made the mistake of assigning some HTML5 projects in Writing for the World Wide Web– a mistake because I don’t really know anything about HTML5.

Anyway, it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything here and I’ve got lots of links that have been piling up, so I thought I’d blog about those a bit tonight. So in no particular order:

The top 10 ways to create digital magazines A nice list of resources here. It’s kind of interesting: about a year ago, I got involved in a mobile computing initiative here at EMU that has kinda floundered a bit. My proposal/interest in this as to learn more about software for producing documents (books, magazines, etc.) that are intended to be read on the iPad. A year ago, I didn’t know a whole lot about the options. But now, besides these choices, I’m working on converting my failed textbook project into an iPad book with iBooks Author. I’m looking forward to investigating these software options, too. It’s interesting what a year makes in iPad-land.
